General Bluetooth Operation and Frequently Asked Questions
n What is the Industry Standard Range for Bluetooth
®
Wireless Technology?
The industry standard range for Bluetooth wireless technology is 30 feet (10 meters).
The radio will loose its pairing with the mobile phone if the mobile phone and the radio
are separated farther than this. The radio will automatically reconnect with the mobile
phone when the user comes back into range.
n How many phones can the radio pair with?
The radio can be paired with up to 8 mobile phones. However, it can only connect and
operate with one mobile phone at a time.
n Do I need to have my mobile phone with me?
Yes, the phone call is actually completed through your mobile phone and your mobile
phone operator/carrier. The mobile phone must be with the 30 feet (10 meters) range
of the radio. The radio does not increase the offshore range of your mobile phone.
n Can I use a standard Bluetooth
®
headset with this radio?
No, the radio is using the headset prole of the Bluetooth specication to pair with your
mobile phone. It cannot pair to another Bluetooth headset.
n Can I use this unit as a speakerphone or hands-free device?
Turning on VOX allows you to use the radio without pressing the PTT (Push to Talk)
button. The radio will still need to be operated in a face held position with the
microphone close to the mouth. This radio uses a noise canceling microphone, and it
will not operate well from the belt clip or another hands-free position.
n Please make sure to note your VOX setting.
If VOX is set to On, then the receiving caller might hear conversation and noise in your
background. This setting is retained in memory. If switched On, then it will be On the
next time the radio is switched On and connected.
n Can I use my mobile phone for emergency use?
No, Cobra does not endorse cellular telephones as a substitute for marine radios. They
generally cannot communicate with rescue vessels and, if you make a distress call on your
cellular telephone, only the party you call will be able to hear you.
Additionally, cellular telephones may have limited coverage over water. If you do not
know where you are, the Coast Guard will have difculty nding you if you are using
your cellular telephone. However, cellular telephones can have a place onboard where
cellular coverage is available – to allow social conversations and keep the marine
frequencies uncluttered and available for their intended use.
